# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Toss chicken strips with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a bowl. Let marinate for 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
02 - Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable and easy to fold.
04 - Lay out each tortilla and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise down the center if using. Distribute cooked chicken evenly among tortillas.
05 - Top each tortilla with shredded lettuce, julienned carrot, sliced bell pepper, spring onions, and cucumber.
06 - Add fresh cilantro leaves and squeeze lime juice over filling. Roll wraps tightly, folding in sides as you roll. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.
